Unable to authenticate with Git Bash to Visual Studio Team Services

Question

I am unable to run any commands against my remote repository at Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) because authentication fails.

I am able to do pulls, etc. through

Answer 1

When using Atlassian SourceTree you need the basic credentials setup in Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) like in the accepted answer.

Then in SourceTree go to menu Tools → Options → Authentication tab.

You need to set the non-email username that you set up as basic username credentials for the XXX.visualstudio.com host.

You will then be prompted for the password when accessing that VSTS Git repository.
